‘Last Ride’ is the name of an interesting painting on stacked
cars in a scrap yard by Portuguese urban artist Mr. Dheo. The video is a
poignantly disturbing by the way it addresses the potentially lethal
consequences of a car crash. Watch for yourself.

In 2005, a street artist named David Choe dismissively tagged a then-fledgling social networking company called Facebook as a "ridiculous and pointless" venture. Nonetheless, he became one of Facebook's first employees. Choe had been hired to spray-paint murals in Facebook's first Silicon Valley HQ by the company's original president, Sean Parker. Parker, the Napster mastermind notorious for his hard-partying exploits and iconoclastic streak, must have seen a kindred spirit in Choe, a self-styled rebel with a reputation for rowdiness and a penchant for anatomically lurid graffiti.

The Great Eastern Street wall in London's East End received a facelift
last week, a brand new paint job for 2012, celebrating the release of
SOULCALIBUR V.

The visual masterpiece in the heart of Shoreditch
took three long days and was painted by the East End's infamous painter
decorator extraordinaire, JIM ROCKWELL: Graffiti artist & Creative
Director of ENDoftheLINE. A time-lapsed video, filmed and painted on
location shows the entire process from beginning to end, capturing the
mural in all its glory.
